megyem posted:Here are my lesser Greyhounds. After reading up on all of the sighthound breeds, I decided on getting an Italian Greyhound as my first dog despite their potty training issues and fragile structure. Both of my Italian Greyhounds have ended up getting luxating patella surgery (no broken bones yet, knock on wood) and they tend to go to the bathroom inside if they aren't taken out every hour. They are both divas but I do love their spunk and it seems that their bigger cousins don't have the same personality traits (though maybe I haven't met the right Whippets/Greyhounds). I like greys but I love whippets. Ashton is awesome  Is it actually possible to fully housetrain an Iggie? I've always heard they have issues with potty training, but I don't know anyone with one irl to ask.

My friend's family has a rescue greyhound (Maggie) and a saluki/greyhound lurcher (Fin).     I have barely any pictures of Maggie. She either ignores me or just tries to shove her face into my treat bag.

pastor of muppets posted:Speaking of collars, is anyone interested in the Pikachu/Totoro collar I posted a few pages back? I bought it for the black female we were supposed to get that didn't end up working out, and it doesn't really look good on Rory. I asked Khelmar if it was okay to offer it up in this thread. I paid $25 for it on Etsy, but I'm just trying to give it away for free. I'm sure it will look better on someone else's hound than sitting in a drawer in my kitchen. It's a really well made 2-inch wide martingale collar, size M (fits a 13-17 inch neck). If anyone wants it, PM me!

Kojiro posted:Haha, small world! They seem like a good group. Gonna meet those pups on Monday, will have to have enough restraint to not scoop one up instantly. They're fairly chill, as far as rescue groups go. I've taken photos of dogs for them before - Hugo, Charlie, Archie, etc. If you get a pup and wanna dogwalk sometime drop me a line, Kalli loves other dawgs and is fab with pups!

DerVerrater posted:Its great to see such support after the local dog shelter told me "If you will leave the dog alone for more than 4 hours you are not capable of caring for a dog" Yeah some rescue places are awful and will make you feel like an unrepentant bastard for working full time (whilst also making GBS threads on the people who DO give up their dogs when they get a full time job). With some you just can't drat well win.
